The Marriage in Trouble Trope
I love, love, love a marriage in trouble trope in a romance book. It’s different. It’s not hero/heroine meets hero/heroine, flirt, court, say I love you. No. These two are already in love but circumstances have either forced them apart, or lack of communication has driven them to feel alone. And now we get to see how they put it all back together again, which can be even more sexy than new love. In a marriage in trouble trope, the couple knows how to love to each other, but sometimes they have Continue Reading
Review: Entity Series by Cat Devon
Cat Devon’s Entity series is a light paranormal romance series, one where each book has its own couple, story, and one could be read as a stand-alone without reading the previous novel. In this series there are vampires, demons, witches, and more. Set in Chicago in a vampire run neighborhood, the dynamics of their particular group was one of the parts I liked best about this series. Intrigued by something on the lighter and happier side, I decided to dive in and I found the first two books to Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Earlier this year I read Play With Me, book one in this series. I reviewed it here. I also did a Smex Scene Sunday for that book. Book two, Risk & Reward comes out this Tuesday (I’ll review it) and I really enjoyed it. Book one ends with Tatiana and Wyatt happy, but book two goes further into their relationship and pushes them to communicate better. But enough with that. Onto the smex…. “Is the divider soundproof?” “No. You’ll have to be quiet.” Another woman might roll her Continue Reading
